  4. config IP_MULTICAST
  5. bool "IP: multicasting"
  6. help
  7. This is code for addressing several networked computers at once,
  8. enlarging your kernel by about 2 KB. You need multicasting if you
  9. intend to participate in the MBONE, a high bandwidth network on top
  10. of the Internet which carries audio and video broadcasts. More
  11. information about the MBONE is on the WWW at
  12. <http://www.savetz.com/mbone/>. For most people, it's safe to say N.
  13. config IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
  14. bool "IP: advanced router"
  15. ---help---
  16. If you intend to run your Linux box mostly as a router, i.e. as a
  17. computer that forwards and redistributes network packets, say Y; you
  18. will then be presented with several options that allow more precise
  19. control about the routing process.
  20. The answer to this question won't directly affect the kernel:
  21. answering N will just cause the configurator to skip all the
  22. questions about advanced routing.
  23. Note that your box can only act as a router if you enable IP
  24. forwarding in your kernel; you can do that by saying Y to "/proc
  25. file system support" and "Sysctl support" below and executing the
  26. line
  27. echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  28. at boot time after the /proc file system has been mounted.
  29. If you turn on IP forwarding, you should consider the rp_filter, which
  30. automatically rejects incoming packets if the routing table entry
  31. for their source address doesn't match the network interface they're
  32. arriving on. This has security advantages because it prevents the
  33. so-called IP spoofing, however it can pose problems if you use
  34. asymmetric routing (packets from you to a host take a different path
  35. than packets from that host to you) or if you operate a non-routing
  36. host which has several IP addresses on different interfaces. To turn
  37. rp_filter on use:
  38. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<device>/rp_filter
  39. or
  40. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
  41. Note that some distributions enable it in startup scripts.
  42. For details about rp_filter strict and loose mode read
  43. <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.
  44. If unsure, say N here.

  51. config IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES
  52. bool "IP: policy routing"
  53. depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
  54. select FIB_RULES
  55. ---help---
  56. Normally, a router decides what to do with a received packet based
  57. solely on the packet's final destination address. If you say Y here,
  58. the Linux router will also be able to take the packet's source
  59. address into account. Furthermore, the TOS (Type-Of-Service) field
  60. of the packet can be used for routing decisions as well.
  61. If you are interested in this, please see the preliminary
  62. documentation at <http://www.compendium.com.ar/policy-routing.txt>
  63. and <ftp://post.tepkom.ru/pub/vol2/Linux/docs/advanced-routing.tex>.

  66. If unsure, say N.
  67. config IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH
  68. bool "IP: equal cost multipath"
  69. depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
  70. help
  71. Normally, the routing tables specify a single action to be taken in
  72. a deterministic manner for a given packet. If you say Y here
  73. however, it becomes possible to attach several actions to a packet
  74. pattern, in effect specifying several alternative paths to travel
  75. for those packets. The router considers all these paths to be of
  76. equal "cost" and chooses one of them in a non-deterministic fashion
  77. if a matching packet arrives.
  78. config IP_ROUTE_VERBOSE
  79. bool "IP: verbose route monitoring"
  80. depends on IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
  81. help
  82. If you say Y here, which is recommended, then the kernel will print
  83. verbose messages regarding the routing, for example warnings about
  84. received packets which look strange and could be evidence of an
  85. attack or a misconfigured system somewhere. The information is
  86. handled by the klogd daemon which is responsible for kernel messages
  87. ("man klogd").

  93. This enables automatic configuration of IP addresses of devices and
  94. of the routing table during kernel boot, based on either information
  95. supplied on the kernel command line or by BOOTP or RARP protocols.
  96. You need to say Y only for diskless machines requiring network
  97. access to boot (in which case you want to say Y to "Root file system
  98. on NFS" as well), because all other machines configure the network
  99. in their startup scripts.

  146. Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
  147. another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
  148. encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
  149. encapsulation of IP within IP, which sounds kind of pointless, but
  150. can be useful if you want to make your (or some other) machine
  151. appear on a different network than it physically is, or to use
  152. mobile-IP facilities (allowing laptops to seamlessly move between
  153. networks without changing their IP addresses).
  154. Saying Y to this option will produce two modules ( = code which can
  155. be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you
  156. want). Most people won't need this and can say N.

  171. Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
  172. another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
  173. encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
  174. GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
  175. encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv4 infrastructure.
  176. This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
  177. likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
  178. tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
  179. through the tunnel.
  180. config NET_IPGRE_BROADCAST

  229. config SYN_COOKIES
  230. bool "IP: TCP syncookie support"
  231. ---help---
  232. Normal TCP/IP networking is open to an attack known as "SYN
  233. flooding". This denial-of-service attack prevents legitimate remote
  234. users from being able to connect to your computer during an ongoing
  235. attack and requires very little work from the attacker, who can
  236. operate from anywhere on the Internet.
  237. SYN cookies provide protection against this type of attack. If you
  238. say Y here, the TCP/IP stack will use a cryptographic challenge
  239. protocol known as "SYN cookies" to enable legitimate users to
  240. continue to connect, even when your machine is under attack. There
  241. is no need for the legitimate users to change their TCP/IP software;
  242. SYN cookies work transparently to them. For technical information
  243. about SYN cookies, check out <http://cr.yp.to/syncookies.html>.
  244. If you are SYN flooded, the source address reported by the kernel is
  245. likely to have been forged by the attacker; it is only reported as
  246. an aid in tracing the packets to their actual source and should not
  247. be taken as absolute truth.
  248. SYN cookies may prevent correct error reporting on clients when the
  249. server is really overloaded. If this happens frequently better turn
  250. them off.
  251. If you say Y here, you can disable SYN cookies at run time by
  252. saying Y to "/proc file system support" and
  253. "Sysctl support" below and executing the command
  254. echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies
